Sponsored by The Zen Mountain Monastery, please join us for We Were Made for These Times: A Conversation for Black, Indigenous, Asian and People of Color (BIAPoC) with Kaira Jewel Lingo

This retreat is reserved for those who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian or People of Color (BIAPOC).

“We all go through times when it feels like the ground is being pulled out from under us. What we relied on as steady and solid may change or even appear to vanish. In this era of global disruption, threats to our individual, social, and planetary safety abound, and at times life can feel overwhelming. Not only are loss and separation painful, but even positive changes can cause great stress.

Yet life is full of change: birth, death, marriage, divorce; a new relationship; losing or starting a job; beginning a new phase in life or ending one. Change is stressful, even when it is much desired or anticipated—the unknown can feel scary and threatening. In We Were Made for These Times, mindfulness teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo imparts accessible advice on navigating difficult times of transition, drawing on Buddhist teachings on impermanence to help you establish equanimity and resilience.

This evening discussion will be based on her book We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons in Moving through Change, Loss and Disruption as she presents essential teachings and meditation unfolding a step-by-step process to nurture deeper freedom and stability in daily life. The time-honored teachings will help develop ease, presence, and self-compassion, supporting you to release the fear and doubt that hold you back.”

There will be time for a Q&A afterward.
